it really does kind of get to you we met some neighbors who were kind of going through their things there just a couple houses down in their house remain standing so it really is essentially what they say a matter of luck it's a horrible thing emergency workers trying to deal with it as best they can but right now the crisis is just raging denise it's shocking to see someone's life shattered like this. so that's the situation in the suburbs of moscow where you are the moment but what are you hearing about the growing conditions in the capital this morning. well on monday there was a window of where people thought perhaps this was it we saw a blue sky smell some fresh air or at least relatively fresh air after weeks or so but again this morning a blanket of toxic smoke covered the capital it really is quite unreal some of the scenes on the streets of moscow something from some kind of film as of now reports . this is not a scene from a science fiction movie with

a post-apocalyptic plot this is moscow with every other person wearing a mask the city now looks like the center of a dangerous epidemic and like such a scenario people's health is at great risk to do this to you the smog which just come to moscow has increased the carbon monoxide concentration in the air by several times this smog is very toxic and always honest to agree we have registered a death increase in comparison with the usual summary. drowned in a smoky haze desperate people have tried everything from dampening cloth and putting it on the windows to using vacuum cleaners to suck in the spores in a scare the smog is terrible i can't breathe it makes my eyes each and nothing helps no matter what we do whether we wear masks were put wet curtains over the windows unable to cope with the heat and toxic smog many are now fleeing the capital. staking her whole family on an unplanned vacation on

a hunt for groups of fresh air feeling. we're not sure but i think there isn't one person who only moscow right now if they had an opportunity i feel sad for the elderly but most of them are really stuck here. dr see the number of deaths has doubled because of the pollution of toadies are trying to ease people suffering which includes heat stroke and dehydration so-called smart centers have been set up distributing water and mast but a lack of air conditioners marge being issued it there may be no smoke inside but the heat is unbearable it's like you can option there is stashing and it makes my town so on and it feels dreadful but of course people shouldn't work in such conditions the government must send them. and air force have become a mecca for tens of thousands hope to skip the small chalking the sea here orchard . riza free countries are the number one choice because it's possible to leave ride

the next day but besides that people go in in all directions even topical countries which seem more comfortable compared to this here but the thick smoke deleted flights turning many airports into suffocating traps for stranded passengers rain is now as highly sought after as snow at christmas weather forecast to see there will be a small decrease of temperatures and a change of wind in the next few days but unfortunately that's not enough while burning forest and the box are feeding the capital smog there's no imminent end in sight to the apocalyptic scenes you've got this going off or to moscow. russia's deadly wildfires the smog filled cities and poor harvest are being seen by some environmentalists the signs of manmade climate change but others disagree my colleague bill dot spoke to piers corbett of the weather action foundation says it's all down to climate cycles. climate has always been china but it has nothing

to do with man and we predicted that there would be extreme heat used to europe and russia this summer and it's caused by a. pattern c o two does not cause circulation patterns what causes those is a combination of solar activity and the state of the phases of the moon. excuse me just a minute you say this isn't caused by man how come the reporting this heat wave is recognize the worst in the thousand years of recorded history in russia and. has got something to do with this has really not nothing to do with only the only connection is man is here is the sun in the moon or doing things you see a very similar situation happened about one hundred thirty two years ago where it was the size. of the magnetic state there was he was in russia on the war so floods in pakistan. and in the previous few years there was also flood to leverage summers also hundred thirty two years ago so these things are.

sold out to fit in the moon has nothing to do with mankind and those who side are to just one of that money is still coming your way this hour a legal battle in the us one behind bars were told by the parole board they are free to leave only to see the decision overturned by the state governor we'll look at the calls for change. human rights campaigners in britain are alarmed over your plans to install surveillance cameras on planes the project is aimed at preventing terrorism but some believe more cameras will lead to even more of the big brother society in a country that's already the most watched in the world r.t.s. lore and of reports. off for a week in the sun but if the european union project goes ahead these people could have their conversations and movements monitored while they're flying the plan has a law on civil liberties campaigners who fear further growth in the surveillance

state but at passengers a divided yelling as this could be quite private personally when i don't know this i think is a line and you keep pushing and pushing it with like the regulations and i think it's so prevalent already. with this expected you watch t.v. you watch t.v. or you'll be surveilled to be surveilled that has a more in me but nothing to hide so we don't worry me personally. the e.u. project is aimed at tackling terrorism by analyzing the way passengers behaved in a bid to isolate potential bombers or hijackers when they're already on board at the moment surveillance on planes is mainly limited to a c.c.t.v. camera near the cockpit persons are the most watched people in the world with more c.c.t.v. cameras per capita than any other nation there are cameras almost always in train stations and in at ports and it's here at the university of reading that the new in-flight surveillance system is being developed it won't just include cameras

they'll also be microphones and special systems for monitoring unusual behavior behavior the system will eventually be able to pick up include sweating moving around the cab in an erratic way and repeated visits to the toilet talk to james ferryman insists it will distinguish between potential terrorists a nervous flyer is now one way to do that is to look very carefully at the types of cues that we take for example someone may be nervously anxious lee sweating and or solution of course that doesn't say anything it could be just. but it could be a terrorist but we only know that when we combine this information with other sources and come to places. a lot to think of it as not big brother watching but. not everyone sees it that way campaigners say previous is one of the litmus tests for democracy and mass surveillance erodes it enormously.

and it seems to. continue. to just be creepy completely. democracy apart from the civil rights issues many question the efficacy of an on board system if a terrorist isn't course at the airports they say by the time a plane's thirty thousand feet up is it is already too late. as ever there is lots more in our website are long gone for a top rate of videos just follow us on twitter what's in line for you today. stale aerobatics caught on a video helicopter crashes in a ball of flames as an error goes horribly wrong so go to the top section.

of world famous parasailing donkey who was rescued by a british tabloid might actually be a fake the twists and turns of a donkey's life. in some u.s. states the governor has the power to overturn parole decisions means many prisoners ready to restart their wives often see their liberty snatched from before their eyes as christine found out the system killed her and those most deserving of a second chance. meet norma kuhn pm when i first came here my son wasn't even a year old and i think that he. kind of sees me and the other women that he's met here at the visiting room he kind of sees like women that have. gone through

a lot and ended up standing on our feet now forty years old she's been behind bars since one thousand nine hundred ninety two he was convicted of killing her abusive boyfriend during a violent attack one of many in their relationship this is somebody who doesn't belong behind bars somebody who made a terrible mistake and readily admits that she made a terrible mistake by picking up a gun in the first place in two thousand and nine she was found to be suitable for parole by the california parole board that decision was overturned by california governor arnold schwarzenegger's our reality shared by many women here at the california institution for women in los angeles most have long histories of abuse from the person for whom they are convicted of killing down the road the university of southern california law school has taken up the cause of many of these women in a program called the post conviction justice project professor michael brennan is

one of the founders are clients for the most part have committed a single serious crime in their life and that's a crime that they're serving their sentence for they are represented by law students like andy martin i'm representing mary saw garcia who was at the age of thirteen trafficked into the united states and sold to a man who for six years physically emotionally and sexually abused her garcia was forced at gunpoint to help that man drag and bury the body of the man he had shot then convicted of aiding and abetting so far she has served seventeen years in march she too was deemed suitable for parole the parole process is really the beginning of a long legal battle for the convicted it's not the end of the. story it turns out it's not even the end of this chapter parole for both garcia and could be and was just reversed by california governor arnold schwarzenegger of the four thousand

cases that go before the board each year just about seventeen percent are found suitable for parole and of those governors fourteen egger has overturned more than sixty percent previous governor reversed ninety percent so why why this obsession with incarceration because most governors in california certainly at some point in their career feel that they may have. possibility of running for president they're concerned about granting parole to inmates who might go out and commit a serious crime but many of these women's records show they would not be a danger to society that they were young and scared for their lives or for the lives of their children or. that i don't care or the number we. heard there on the way for me to be on the one.

end of the line for many is here. in prison for life despite their sentence you can't turn parole boy if sentences into. what we call l.-wop sentences life without possibility of parole simply because. victims rights groups or others think that if you've been convicted of murder you should never be paroled a broken system chance is given then taken away and still hope the system will change for campian that she'll be reunited with her son it will work out in the end if if you really truly love somebody like the way that i love him i want him to be the best like even if i have to stay here forever i just want him to be. the best in los angeles christine for south r.t. american radio host tom hartman says people have been treated as disposable in the

u.s. for centuries in the united states for really up until the last maybe four or five decades we had so much space so much potential for growth that people were many people were considered disposable i mean we had slaves that were largely viewed as disposable europe at a very different experience europe has been densely populated for centuries for thousands for millennia and so in europe the problem of problem people has been you know we're going to have to have these people back in our culture and their relatives and friends will about how can we fix them in america it was to string them up their disposable people and so we went from the wild west notion hanging to the modern notion of the death penalty and you know all through that was the threat of crime punishment vengeance and nowhere did we ever have the need or the perceived need to get into
